Project update: finally got a better look at the brown Sigma SE in proper daylight...

I finally got to have a more thorough look at my new brown Sigma SE today. There is a lot of play on the water pump shaft but a new replacement has already been ordered from my local auto parts shop.

I also did a bit of research on pricing and availability of moulded interior carpets for the Sigma. I can either buy a plush pile moulded carpet from a place in Melbourne for about $160 or a normal moulded carpet from a local place for $220. I think I'll go for the plush pile carpet, but that's for later, I'm mainly concentrating on getting the car ready to be registered now.
